Here is a Sign — Fine Art

A black brush mark runs across the sheet in Here is a Sign - 1970. The stroke bends and lifts at the end, like a hand sign written quickly. Forrest Bess often used simple shapes and signs on a plain ground. The paint sits unevenly, so you can see where the brush pressed hard and where it pulled away.

This fine art print uses a matte paper that keeps the black mark soft, so the dark tone does not glare under a lamp. The frame finish can follow the room, with a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture.

It works on a kitchen wall near the sink, where the sign shape reads from the doorway and the uneven paint shows at closer range.
